I don't know where that story came from but the people who drove the EV1 liked it from what I saw on a television report. I don't think that congress should design cars. But I don't think the management at the big 3 know how to either. I think I already pointed out that they are still building hummers.If we are going to use taxpayer money to bail them out we should put some directives on the money. Henry Ford knew that you had to build a car for the masses. Today the management has no idea about cars. Its all about stock options and executive perks.

Here is a fact that I pointed to before. Why do the automakers refuse to build fuel efficiant cars? My diesel truck gets 12 MPG. If I put an after market Computer chip in it I can get 20MPG. But if I do Ford will void my warranty. Why? Why doesn't Ford put the chip in themselves? This is a scam. And as usual the powers that be know how to get us all up in arms at the wrong people. Just like this thread. We will blame the politicians for wanting better cars. Rather then blame a bunch of faceless execs.
